Writer/director James Gunn reveals The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special has yet to start filming due to a surge in Omicron cases. Plot details for the first small-screen special attached to the Marvel Cinematic Universe are currently unknown, though it has been previously reported it will center on Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket, Mantis and Groot getting wrapped up in holiday season shenanigans.
Development on The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was officially announced during the 2020 Disney Investor Day presentation, with Gunn having worked on the concept of a special for years based on his love of the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special from his childhood. The writer/director penned the script in early 2021 with the story set between the events of Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
"It's still upcoming in the shoot. We were supposed to shoot one day in LA, and there's too much Omicron around, so we couldn't do it. We're going to have to fit it in. I haven't started yet. I'm excited to. It's fun. The holiday special is... I'm almost jealous of it, even though I wrote it because people freak out so much on how much they love the script for the holiday special that I'm almost like, 'Well, wait.
As multiple new strains of COVID-19 make a resurgence across the country, various major productions have suffered alongside The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Paramount+'s Star Trek: Picard briefly shut down production on season 3 following over 50 crew members testing positive for the virus while ABC has shut down multiple of its shows, including Grey's Anatomy.
It should be exciting for audiences to hear the level of anticipation Gunn has to finally get to work on The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, especially on the heels of making his celebrated debut in the DC Extended Universe with The Suicide Squad and upcoming series Peacemaker. Additionally, with the special set to air later this year for Christmas and help set up the story for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
